[icann-see] [Was: Apply now Balkan School on Internet Governance] Few questions to consider

Wed Jun 28 18:49:50 CEST 2017

Dear all,

I would like to let you know, that just few days ago we discussed with
Ilija Bazljankov the possibility to organize Internet Governance School in
Kyiv (possibly in February 2018, in line with First Youth IGF-UA).

I will be happy to have SEEDIG as one of its co-organizer.

Best regards,
Oksana
